Alright guys, now tell me please: Where have you seen
Early blind levels at cash games?
@PokerNuts01, honestly rather not. I do prefer playing more conservative, when the blinds are low. Maybe limping with any pairs, suited connectors, suited Ace rag and so on. (But mostly when players behind me rather passive and i wouldnt get raise most of time) With all of such hands i want just to see flop cheap and being happy if i hit the monster, or hit monster draw and could see for free or cheap enough how it will improve. If all that circumstances are not about to happen. I fold my hand without long thinking about. But raising such hands, that you listed and being called by a fish, who just want to play and could have anytwo. You building up the pot and these in a pretty marginal situation on postflop, where you could find yourself with a tricky hand, that hits a piece of flop maybe even in a multipot (because blinds are cheap, so fish has no respect to your raise) without position and you have no idea what are those fishes could have behind you. Why do you need hard decisions and risks so early?
I made this mistake myself already so many times (and probably will do it over and over again lol) and even with a really good hands, you shouldn't overvalue it on early phase of tournament. Many times happened to me something like when i had AK and raised preflop, got called by 2-3 fishes behind, hitted an ace or king on flop, and lost my stack to a fish who just called funky J5s and hit two pairs on flop, or a flush draw and get the flush on a river. Well of course AK is worth to play aggressive, but why to put yourself in such situations with weak hands too.
